I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

​Ayurvedic Perspective ​In Ayurveda, thyroid disorders are seen as an imbalance of the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), with an emphasis on Kapha imbalance for hypothyroidism. The goal of Ayurvedic treatment is not just to manage symptoms but to restore the body’s natural balance and improve overall health.

​Treatment Approach ​Ayurvedic treatment is a holistic process that can include: ​Herbal Remedies: Herbs like Ashwagandha, Guggulu, and Kanchanar Guggulu are often used to support thyroid function and reduce inflammation.

​Dietary and Lifestyle Changes: This is a crucial part of the treatment.

Recommendations may include a Kapha-pacifying diet (avoiding cold, heavy, and processed foods), using warming spices, and incorporating practices like oil massage (Abhyanga) and yoga.

​Panchakarma Therapies: These are cleansing and detoxification procedures that may be recommended to remove toxins and restore balance to the doshas.
​Curability and Timeline

​Ayurveda does not promise an instant cure. The process is focused on long-term wellness. An Ayurvedic practitioner would work to address the root cause of the imbalance. It can take several months of consistent and dedicated practice of diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies to see significant improvement. The length of treatment is highly individualized and depends on the severity of the imbalance, your body’s response to the treatment, and other health factors.

Namaste Sunil ji,

Thyroid disorder (whether hypothyroid or hyperthyroid) is generally a long-standing metabolic and hormonal imbalance. I can understand your concern but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

➡️Q. Is it curable or controllable?

👉In most cases, thyroid disorders are manageable and controllable rather than completely curable.

👉With proper diet, lifestyle, stress management, and Ayurvedic medicines, many patients are able to reduce their dependence on medicines and maintain normal thyroid function.

👉The time needed varies—usually 3 to 6 months of consistent treatment is required to see significant improvement, but in chronic cases, it may take longer.

➡️Q.Why you feel weak & stressed? Because thyroid imbalance slows down metabolism, reduces energy, and also affects the nervous system, leading to weakness, stress, and sometimes anxiety.

✅INVESTIGATIONS ADVISED= 1 Thryoid profile 2 CBC, ESR

✅❗PLS UPDATE IF YOU ARE TAKING ANY ALLOPATHY MEDICATIONS??

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMEMT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Kanchanar Guggulu 1-0-1 after food – balances thyroid swelling & metabolism.

2 Stresscom 1-0-1 after food – reduces stress, strengthens thyroid & adrenal glands.

3 Brahmi cap 1 at bed time – calms stress & improves focus.

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

👉Take warm, light, easily digestible food.

👉Avoid excess curd, bakery foods, cold items, and deep-fried snacks.

👉Add drumstick leaves, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, jeera water, ginger tea.

✅ LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

👉Daily 30–40 mins brisk walk or yoga – especially Sarvangasana, Matsyasana, Bhujangasana.

👉Practice Pranayama – Anulom Vilom, Bhramari for stress relief.

👉Maintain fixed sleep timings.

Please don’t worry. Thyroid is not a life-threatening disease if managed properly.

With Ayurvedic medicines, right food, yoga, and stress management, you can definitely control thyroid levels, 😊

Warm. Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Thyroid can be cured with regular diet, pranayam and yogasan You will need ayurvedic medicine initially to fast-track results. If it is too high to control fast you may need allopathy initially, parallel ayurvedic treatment. As TSH reduces allopathic medicine can be tappered off. For all the treatment need to know your Thyroid profile values. For stress you can take Brahmi vati 1-0-1 after food with water Ashwagandha churan 0-0-1tsp at bedtime with warm milk.

I am an Ayurvedic Gynaecologist working mostly with women who’ve been struggling silently with their cycles, hormonal issues or other chronic things that they feel just aren’t getting solved with regular meds. I focus on using classical Ayurvedic medicine — not some generic formula, but stuff that’s really matched to their dosha, lifestyle, history etc. Honestly, many of them come to me after trying everything else n still not feeling right... and I totally get that frustration. My main area is managing gynaecological problems like PCOS, irregular periods, heavy bleeding, painful cycles, white discharge, infertility, and even menopause-related discomfort — all through an Ayurvedic lens. I don’t just treat the symptom n send them off... I look at the root cause. Sometimes it’s digestion, sometimes stress, sometimes a history of long medication use — every case is different. I use a mix of Shamana Aushadhi (internal palliative meds), rasayana support, and if needed, Panchakarma therapies (like uttar basti for chronic cases). Lot of people don’t realise how deep Ayurveda can go in women’s health. It’s not just oil massage n detox — it’s a full system that can restore balance when applied right. I work closely with each patient — listen fully, go through their history, explain what’s going on, then offer a practical plan that’s doable even if they’re busy or tired or scared things won’t change. I'm here for women who feel dismissed or unheard... whether it's teenage hormonal acne, repeated UTIs, or things like ovarian cysts or thin endometrium. If your cycle or your system feel "off" but no one's really connecting the dots — that’s where Ayurveda really shines. And I’m happy to help bridge that gap.

HELLO SUNIL,

The thyroid gland produces hormones T3, T4 that control metabolism, energy, mood, weight , digestion, and body temperature -Hypothyroidism most common at age 50= gland works less-> body slows down Symptomd= weakness, weight gain, dry skin, hair fall, constipation, swelling, depression, stress, fatigue

-Hyperthyroidism = gland works too much -> body overactive Symptoms= weight loss, restlessness, sweating, palpitations, irritability

You mentioned weakness+ stress, which is more common in hypothyroidism

TREATMENT GOALS -normalise thyroid hormone function -strengthen digestive fire-> regulate metabolism -balance dosha mainly kapha and vata -reduce stress-> because stress worsens thyroid imbalance -rejuvinate tissues-> prevent complications -improve quality of life-> energy , sleep, digestion, mood

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 500 mg twice daily after meals =reduces swelling in thyroid , balances kapha, improves gland function

3) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =reduces water retention, swelling, improves blood circulation

4) SARASWATARISHTA= 15 ml with equal water after meals =reduces stress, anxiety, improves mental calmness

5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night =detoxifies, improves metabolism, relieves constipation

6) SHANKHAPUSHPI syrup= 10 ml daily at night =for mental clarity, memory, emotional balance

EXTERNAL THERAPIES CAN go for detox panchakarma at nearby hospital -virechana -basti -nasya

HOME REMEDIES

-Drink warm water thoughout the day -use jeera+ ajwain+ methi seeds tea 1 tsp each boiled in water once daily -take 2 soaked almonds + 2 walnuts daily brain and thyroid support -use turmeric + black pepper in cooking regularly -avoid excessive salt, bakery items, and deep fried foods

AVOID -excess what, rice at night -curd, panner, cheese, ice-cream -junk food, bakery , fried foods -excess soy products they interfere with thyroid medicine

YOGA ASANAS -sarvangasana -matsyasana -bhujagasana -halasana -setu bandhasana

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana -ujjayi- especially for thyroid -bhramari= redcues stress

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Sleep= 6-8 hrs, avoid late nights -daily walk 30 min -reduce screen time, practice mediation -maintain healthy body weight -avoid stress triggers, overthinking

IS IT CURABLE-> in most cases, controllable not fully curable, but Ayurveda+ lifestyle can reduce symptoms, prevent complications and sometimes reduce medicine dosage -TIME FRAME= 2-3 months for noticeable relief, 6-12 months for strong control, lifelong discipline for stability -KEY= consistency in medicine, diet, lifestyle, and stress management

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with about 3 years of hands-on experience, mainly dealing with lifestyle disorders like PCOD, weight gain, diabetes, stress, and gut stuff—like bloating or weak digestion or just that feeling something’s off. I did my BAMS coz I was really drawn toward natural healing, not just the herbs part, but how everything connects—mind, food, sleep, mood... all of it. What I really try to focus on is not just giving medicine n sending people off. I like to understand what’s behind the symptoms... like why their metabolism’s slowed down or why they keep getting acidity despite eating less. That’s where my work with diet and mindset come in. I use Ayurvedic principles, yes, but I also mix it with small practical stuff—daily routines, sleep hygiene, stress release, food planning, whatever feels doable for that person. It’s not always about detoxes or strict regimens, though sometimes that helps too. Depends, really. I’ve seen good results when people actually get that they don’t need to do huge things. Just right guidance at the right time. I try to keep things light in consultation, make people feel heard, not rushed. I genuinely like when someone says “no one explained it to me like this before” — that feels nice. My whole approach is basically trying to make health feel natural again. Nothing fancy. Just rooted in the real Ayurvedic logic and a lot of listening. And yes, there’s trial and error sometimes, every case is different. But that’s what makes it kind of real. If you're dealing with any of those everyday-but-tiring health issues, I’ll do my best to figure it out with you—not just for now, but in a way that holds up longer term.

Hlw sunil ji,

Thank you for sharing your concerns — let’s go through your question in a clear and helpful way.

In Ayurveda, thyroid disorders are usually related to imbalance in the Doshas: Hypothyroidism: Linked to Kapha imbalance Hyperthyroidism: Linked to Pitta and Vata imbalance

Since you mentioned weakness and stress, and you’re over 50, this likely leans toward hypothyroidism (Kapha-dominant) — but it’s essential to confirm with tests.

Visit an endocrinologist – for complete thyroid evaluation. Get blood tests done (thyroid + vitamins).

✅ Ayurvedic Medicines and Doses:

1.Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tablets (250 mg) 🔸 Twice daily after food

2.Ashwagandha Tablet – 1 tablet (500 mg) 🔸 Once or twice daily with warm water or milk

3.Triphala Churna – 1 teaspoon (5 grams) 🔸 At bedtime with warm water

4.Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet 🔸 Once daily (morning or night)

Lifestyle changes:

Sleep: 7–8 hours daily Yoga or meditation: 20 mins/day for stress

Avoid: caffeine, processed food

Eat: more vegetables, protein, nuts, and iodine-rich food (only if doctor approves) Exercise daily (even light walking)

Thank You!

My training and clinical experience have equipped me to treat a wide range of conditions such as Netra Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early and advanced cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Karna Nada (tinnitus), Pratishyaya (chronic rhinitis and sinusitis), Mukhapaka (oral ulcers), Dantaharsha (dental sensitivity), and Shirashoola (headache and migraine). I routinely incorporate classical Ayurvedic therapeutic techniques like Kriya Kalpas, Nasya, Tarpana, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, Gandusha, Pratisarana, and Dhoomapana, along with internal Rasayana and Shamana therapies, ensuring treatments are both effective and tailored to each patient’s prakriti and condition. Beyond my specialization, I bring over two years of clinical experience managing multi-systemic disorders. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with a sound understanding of modern diagnostics and pathology, allowing me to handle cases related to metabolic disorders (such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS), musculoskeletal issues (like arthritis and back pain), gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and women’s health concerns, including infertility and hormonal imbalance. I believe in evidence-informed practice, patient education, and holistic healing. My focus is always on delivering compassionate care that empowers patients to actively participate in their health journey. Through continuous learning and clinical research, I remain committed to upholding the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that aligns with today’s healthcare needs.

Hello Sunil,

Let me explain clearly for your age and conditions. 🌿 Can Hypothyroidism be Cured?

Permanent (primary) hypothyroidism (most common type, due to autoimmune thyroiditis/thyroid damage) cannot be fully cured, because the thyroid gland cannot recover once damaged.

But it can be controlled lifelong with proper thyroid hormone replacement (Levothyroxine). With correct dose adjustment, most people live completely normal lives.

In some temporary conditions (like postpartum thyroiditis, iodine deficiency, or certain medications), hypothyroidism can sometimes be reversible — but this is less common.

⏳ Timeframe: If your hypothyroidism is permanent, you’ll need lifelong treatment. The goal is to keep your TSH in normal range, which restores energy and reduces weakness/stress. If it’s temporary, it may take 3–6 months to normalize after addressing the cause.

🌟 Why You Feel Weak & Stressed

1.Low thyroid hormone slows metabolism → fatigue, low mood, stress. 2.Vitiligo suggests an autoimmune tendency (so thyroid issue might also be autoimmune in nature). 3.Piles add discomfort, which increases stress.

4.So your weakness is not only thyroid but also from combined low hemoglobin, piles-related blood loss (if present), and stress imbalance (Vata aggravation in Ayurveda).

✅ What You Can Do

1. Medical Approach

1.Regularly check TSH every 3–6 months and adjust your thyroid medicine dose. 2.Treat piles to prevent bleeding & anemia. 3.Get hemoglobin, iron, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D levels checked (deficiencies worsen fatigue).

2. Ayurveda & Lifestyle Support

🌿 Internal Remedies (supportive):

1.Ashwagandha churna – 3 g with warm milk at bedtime (reduces stress & fatigue). 2.Triphala churna – 3 g at night with warm water (for piles & digestion). 3.Punarnavadi mandoor– 2-0-2 after food for anemia & piles.

🥗 Diet:

1.Warm, easily digestible foods (moong dal, green leafy veg, ghee). 2.Black sesame, dates, raisins, pomegranate (support blood & thyroid). 3.Avoid cabbage, cauliflower, soya, and too much millet (these suppress thyroid). 4.Avoid excess oily, spicy, junk food (worsens piles).

🧘 Yoga & Stress Relief:

1.Surya Namaskar (gentle, 6 rounds daily). 2.Anuloma–Viloma & Bhramari pranayama – calms mind, balances thyroid. 3.Viparita Karani (legs-up pose) – helps piles & blood circulation. 4.Sleep early, avoid late nights (improves stress hormones).

🎯 Summary 1.Hypothyroidism is usually controllable, not curable (unless temporary). 2.With proper medicine, lifestyle, and stress management, you can live without weakness or stress. 3.Your vitiligo is also an autoimmune sign – so maintaining strong digestion (Agni) & immunity is key. 4.Piles should be treated (either with Ayurveda herbs like Triphala, Haritaki or surgery if severe) to stop blood loss and weakness.

If you want i can prepare a full treatment plan for you… With warm regards Dr.Sumi

Dr. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

When it comes to thyroid disorders, Ayurveda recognizes them as imbalances often linked to doshas and dhatus. Whether it’s hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, the approach involves balancing your doshas and maintaining your digestive fire or agni. Though not claiming a complete ‘cure’ in allopathic terms, many individuals find significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life through Ayurvedic practices, though it requires patience and consistency.

Thyroid imbalances are often manageable through Ayurveda. The timeframe can vary, potentially ranging from a few months to a year, depending on several factors like lifestyle, diet, stress levels, and individual constitution (prakriti). It’s essential to address the root cause, balance Vata, Pitta, or Kapha, and restore agni.

To manage your symptoms of weakness and stress, consider incorporating the following Ayurvedic principles:

1. Diet: Emphasize warm, cooked foods that balance your dosha. If you lean towards a Kapha imbalance (common in hypothyroidism), reduce cold, heavy foods and increase spices like ginger and turmeric. For Pitta imbalance (often seen in hyperthyroidism), avoid spicy, oily foods and prefer cooling, calming meals.

2. Herbal Support: Herbs like Ashwagandha are known for supporting thyroid health and reducing stress. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized herbal prescriptions.

3. Lifestyle: Practice daily Ayurvedic routines (dinacharya) like oil massage (abhyanga) to improve circulation and energy levels. Engage in gentle exercises like yoga or Tai Chi to manage stress.

4. Mindfulness: Practices such as meditation and pranayama help in reducing stress. Breathing exercises are particularly beneficial for calming the mind and supporting overall thyroid health.

While these guidelines can assist in managing thyroid imbalances, it’s crucial to regularly monitor thyroid levels with your healthcare provider and seek professional consultation. Immediate medical attention is necessary if symptoms worsen or become unmanageable. Balancing your lifestyle alongside proper medical guidance should give the best outcome.

HELLO SUNIL,

Thyroid disorder- can it be cured? -In Modern medicine= most thyroid disorders are manageable, not completely curable. patient usually need long term or life long mediicnes -In Ayurveda= thyroid imbalance is linked to digestive fire, kapha-vata imbalance, and disturbed metabolism. Ayurveda aims to restore balance, so many people experience improvement and sometimes reduced dependency on medicines but the timeline varies by person

HOW LONG FOR RESULTS? -usually 3-6 months of consistent Ayurvedic treatment + lifestyle changes are needed to notice real improvement -some cases may require long-term management

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT

1) DIET -Avoid= curd at night, cold drinks, fast food, excess sweets, cabbage, cauliflower, soy -Prefer= warm food, moong dal, old rice/wheat drumstick, bottle gourd, turmeric, black pepper, garlic, ginger -use rock salt instead of table salt

2) LIFESTYLE -Daily walking, suryanamaskar, pranayam (anulom vilom, bhramari, ujjayi breathing) -manage stress through meditation and yoga nidra -sleep early, wake up early

3) INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

-Kanchanar guggulu= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with lukewarm water

-Varunadi kwatha= 20 ml with equal water twice daily before meals

-Punarnavadi mandur= 500 mg twice daily after meals

-Arogyavardhini vati= 2 tabs twice daily after meals

-Chitrakadi Vati= 1 tab 2 times / day before meals with warm water

-Yogaraj guggulu= 2 tabs twice daily after meals

-Thyroid is usually controllable , not 100% curable in all cases. -Ayurveda can bring symptomatic relief, reduce weakness and stress, and sometimes reduce dependency on lifelong medicines -consistency for at least 3-6 months is essential

Thyroid disorders, whether they’re hypo or hyperthyroid in nature, can often be managed effectively with the right approach, but “cure” might not be the appropriate expectation for everyone. In Siddha-Ayurvedic practice, we focus on rebalancing the doshas involved, typically vata and kapha for hypothyroidism and pitta for hyperthyroidism, and strengthening the agni, or digestive fire, which is often impaired in thyroid conditions.

Addressing thyroid imbalances can take time, possibly several months, varying based on individual constitution (prakriti), severity, and response to treatment. While a definitive timeframe is difficult to predict, consistent practice of recommended interventions can lead to significant improvements.

To manage weakness and stress tied to thyroid issues, consider these steps:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Favor warm, cooked foods, reducing raw and cold substances. Incorporate foods like barley, mung beans, and seasonal vegetables which support thyroid function. Limit intake of goitrogenic foods like soy and cruciferous vegetables, as they’re best consumed cooked if thyroid function is impaired.

2. Herbal Support: Herbs such as Ashwagandha, Shankhpushpi, and Guggulu can aid thyroid health and stress management. However, dosage and use should be personalized. Consult with a Siddha-Ayurvedic practitioner who can guide you based on your dosha balance and individual needs.

3. Stress Reduction: Yoga, meditation, and pranayama like Nadi Shodhana help in alleviating stress and can bring calmness to the mind. Regular daily practice is key to seeing benefits over time.

4. Routine: Establish a regular routine with set meal times and activities. This helps stabilize vata, which may be contributing to stress.

5. Medical Monitoring: Thyroid function should be routinely monitored by modern medical tests to ensure levels are well-managed and to avoid complications.

Balancing the thyroid involves a holistic approach integrating lifestyle, diet, herbal supplements, and stress management. Close collaboration with healthcare providers is essential, especially if you’re on medication, to ensure safe and effective management.

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

Dr. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

Dr. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.
